*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I will be very grateful if anybody can supply me with technical information
about the Amstrad PCW8256. In particular:

1.	Can the 8 empty DRAM sockets be used to enlarge the RAM disc and if so
	how is it done. It does not seem to be enough to just fill the empty
	sockets.

2.	Can the serial port be accessed directly via the Z80 i/o ports and
	if it can, how?

3.	Is anything known about the internal format of Locoscript files?
